History buffs will surely enjoy learning that the cabin's driveway was once part of the old ET&WNC railroad line - the line home to Engine #12 that ran through our area in the 1930's tooting her high pitched steam whistle that earned her the nickname "Tweetsie". Guests today can still experience the magic of mountain trains by visiting "Tweetsie", now over 105 years old, at her namesake theme park Tweetsie Railroad! On a clear summer day when the wind is just right, you might even hear her whistle faintly echoing through the mountains.
